I think that a remake of FFVII would be a double edged sword for Square Enix. It will undoubtedly make them a small fortune from all the fans, and will also cause them to focus less on other projects to make it.

They don't have to change the actual game at all, but knowing Square Enix they will. We will (most likely)have
A new translation
Story changes to fit with the new plot from the compilation
A bunch of new materia.
Sapphire weapon will be fightable as a superboss.
